Destination Love

I don't know what movie the critics were watching, but the ratings were totally unfair. The audience and I found the movie to be very funny. David Talbert produced a funny, relevant movie. See it with your female friends because they will find things in it are so true. Nothing can be more funny than the truth. So don't take the critics word for this movie see it yourself.

Paula Patton, Adam Brody and Jill Scott were so funny. I expected Adam to be funny because of his work on 'The O.C.", but Paula and Jill were pleasant surprises. Jennifer Lewis delivered another excellent performance and Taye Diggs understated performance was dead-on for his character.

I love a good romantic comedy but Baggage Claim in nowhere even near that type of movie. It seemed more like an corny SNL skit that lasts over an hour. I had the movie already figured out in the first 15 minutes and had to endure the rest of the flick. This plot is just one notch above that goofy Soul Plane from a few years back and a few below Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail. A better script, more realistic characters and a more serious touch the movie might be average. Paula Patton is beautiful as always that you can't deny and Ty Diggs is an accomplished actor but they need to move on into some more serious roles. My advise is don't waste your time on this one. I still can't believe I didn't walk out.

I stumbled upon this movie one rainy evening on TV. There was not much to do so I gave it a chance- had zero expectations. Yes, at some moments it is cheesy but somehow it keeps you intrested. Its cute. The acting is actually pretty good so I'd say if you don't expect too much give it a chance

After watching this movie, the only thing that should be "claimed" is a refund.

Director-writer David E Talbert provided a creatively idle rom-com starring Paula Patton (Montana Moore); as a flight attendant who under the pressure of her mother (Jennifer Lawrence) and the wedding engagement of her younger sister (Lauren London) somehow finds herself in a position where she has to locate and bring a fiancé to her sister's rehearsal dinner in thirty days. In doing so, she uses her friends to set up an arguably illegal "spy network" to find out which of her ex- boyfriends are taking which flights- so she can manipulate herself aboard and hopefully start again with these men.

She wears the long, straight rom-com hair of ignorance with the smile of innocence which I like to call a ritual of rom-com. The story was naturally predictable adhering to every single rom-com textbook story model and so heavily resting on weak humour. Alongside the contemporary traditional female friend and gay male friend duo (similar to Devil's Wear Prada) it's one large equation for mediocre...if that.

I'm not particularly familiar with Talbert and this is the first film I've seen of his, regardless, in this film it's strongly indicative that he's chosen quantity over quality.

Flight attendant Montana (Paula Patton) is about to turn 30 and just broken up with her boyfriend as he was cheating on her. Her sister is engaged to get married soon and her 5 times married mother is pressuring her to get married.

Egged on by her friends, Montana has 30 days to get proposed by one of her ex boyfriends. Her coworkers conspire with other airline workers and airport staff to fly on planes where her ex-boyfriends happen to be there. This include a rising conservative politician, a hip hop artist and a businessman. However right under Montana's nose is her best friend Bill.

This is the kind of dumb film that gives romantic comedies a bad name. It is not funny nor romantic and hopelessly predictable.

Do you really want to allow your mother pestering you to get married, someone who failed with her own husbands? Why do you want to reconnect with your ex's? There were probably a good reason why you broke up with them in the first place. In fact why does Montana want to get married? She could just live with someone and see what develops. The film has an awful misogynic undertone.
